Master Lu's Live Demonstration
The soldiers were dumbfounded.
In an instant.
No one even spoke.
The battlefield fell into a deathly silence.
This was truly the first time the soldiers had ever witnessed such a scene.
The monsters ran away?!
What's this?
On the street in front of the position, the Crawler army that had been suffocating the soldiers had now retreated completely, leaving only a mess and a stench of slime.
The battle-hardened soldiers, maintaining their battle-ready stances, glanced at the empty streets, then at Lu Xiu standing in the morning light, long sword in hand.
It took me a long time to realize what was happening.
"----What did Lu Xiu just do? Did she use a skill?"
"No! She rushed over, and those beasts ran away like they'd seen a ghost."
97
"What is this?!"
"Could it be because of Monster Hunter? Lu Xiu seems to have the Title of 'Humanoid Cataclysm ' in the dungeon—"
"Huh? Can the events in Monster Hunter apply to real-world monsters?"
"
This moment.
The soldiers even briefly forgot about discipline and started discussing it.
Because this was completely beyond our expectations.
Lu Xiu stood still, looked down at the Nameless Blade in her hand that wasn't even stained with blood, and then reached up to touch the blue ribbon fluttering in the wind behind her head.
I couldn't resist taking another look at the accessory's attributes.
[Item: Medal - Disaster Hunter]
[Appearance Description: A blue ribbon fluttering in the wind.]
[Additional Effect (Legendary Hunter): When wearing this ribbon, all low-level monsters in the real world will instinctively fear the wearer, becoming cowardly and fleeing. All high-level monsters, including King-class Monster, will most likely be affected by its oppressive aura, reducing all their attributes by 30%; there is a small chance it will trigger their ferocity, causing them to enter a [Berserk] state, breaking free of restrictions and forcibly locking onto the wearer with hatred, fighting to the death.]
to be honest.
The effect is so good.
Lu Xiu herself was somewhat surprised.
Speaking of which...
This thing doesn't specify its range, yet it starts working from so far away, and the range is so large.
"Since it's so useful----"
Lu Xiu thought for a moment, then turned her head to look at the other streets on both sides of the defensive line where gunfire was still raging and the battle was at a stalemate. She swung the Nameless Blade with her backhand, bent her knees slightly, and the Jump Kit at her waist emitted another low rumble.
Laugh!
Two streams of dark blue flames suddenly shot out, and Lu Xiu, like a light and agile bird taking off from the ground, leaped directly onto the second-floor exterior wall of an abandoned building next to her.
Push off the wall, accelerate!
Using the thrust of the Jump Kit, Lu Xiu's figure became a Afterimage as she began to move at high speed along the long defensive line.
Her high ponytail and the long blue ribbon began to flutter in the wind, emitting a faint blue glow.
What followed was a truly surreal scene on Jade Capital's defensive line.
As the slender figure with a blue ribbon tied in her ponytail Extreme Speed past the ruins and high walls, an invisible pressure swept across the entire battlefield like a tsunami.
The horde of Crawler that was frantically attacking human shelters seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall of sighs as Lu Xiu swept past.
Hiss!!
One second the Crawler was charging fearlessly, ready to unleash its breath, the next second it suddenly trembled violently and its pupils constricted.
Then, they let out a miserable howl, their limbs sliding wildly on the ground, like receding tides, frantically fleeing towards the Assimilation Zone of the building covered with dark gray film.
The soldiers at the front were shouting and fighting with all their might, some even drawing their swords, ready to cut off their hands and enter a state of Ordinary Person's Courage.
Suddenly, everything in front of me went blank.
The monsters that were just crowding our view have all run away!
"???"
"----What happened? Why are the monsters retreating?!"
"Look up! There's someone on the wall!"
"Who uses the Jump Kit so skillfully—wait, Lu Xiu???"
The soldiers looked up in the direction the blue light had passed.
Amidst the billowing smoke and the breaking dawn, they immediately spotted a figure moving about, and a blue ribbon fluttering in the wind.
Many people recognized it as Lu Xiu.
Wherever Lu Xiu went, the monsters retreated as if they had encountered a natural enemy.
Countless soldiers watched as the figure nimbly moved between the walls, never touching the ground, and as monsters fled wherever she went.
---- Humanoid Cataclysm.
For some reason, many people recalled Lu Xiu's Title in the Monster Hunter dungeon.
The soldiers on the front lines have seen many large-scale scenes, and the Monster Tide is no exception.
They've seen top players before; the Patrollers themselves are all top players.
But they had never seen this scene before.
Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene.
The dawn light finally rose completely.
Golden sunlight pierced through the thick smoke, illuminating the slender figure leaping and bounding across the ruins and high walls.
The deep blue afterglow of the jump intertwined with the morning light, and the blue ribbon that danced wildly in the wind with the girl's movements was imprinted in everyone's eyes at that moment.
soon.
The pressure on the entire defensive line was reduced by more than half because of Lu Xiu's high-speed parkour!
at the same time.
The A18 Defense Zone is currently experiencing the most intense fighting.
Boom!
A violent bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking the horde of monsters with devastating force.
Chu Huai was enveloped in dark blue electric arcs, and the battle blade in his hand was like a thunderbolt blade, unleashing thousands of lightning bolts with a casual flick of his wrist.
Even so, his breathing became slightly rapid.
Because a gap has been torn in the defenses here, the density of monsters is several times that of other areas, and there are also Mutation creatures lurking in the rear, making it impossible to kill all the endless stream of Crawler.
"Protect the flanks! Leave the front to me! Don't engage the Mutation directly! I'll handle it! Don't go to your deaths! The next wave of Patrollers is coming!"
Chu Huai shouted, then took a pill, preparing to face the next wave of attacks, which was like a tsunami.
However.
Just as he gripped his sword, preparing to advance again...
The horde of Crawler that was about to engulf the position suddenly stopped in unison.
Immediately afterwards, as if sensing some terrifying presence that made their very souls tremble, these bloodthirsty monsters didn't even have time to howl before abandoning their easily breached cover and turning to run!
A complete rout unfolded right in front of Chu Huai—
However, this is probably because there are special variants later on.
After leaving the defensive line, the Crawler did not head directly towards the Assimilation Zone like they would elsewhere.
But it's unclear whether it was Chu Huai's imagination.
The moment the Crawler ran away, the special Variant Monster behind it seemed to shrink back.
"----?"
Chu Huai maintained his sword-wielding posture, the lightning on his body even flickering twice in surprise.
He stared blankly at the suddenly empty street in front of him, his mind filled with questions.
"The Monster Tide retreated on its own?"
Just then...
The familiar hissing sound came from behind.
Chu Huai looked up abruptly and saw a slender, graceful figure gliding along the sloping ruins before landing abruptly in the middle of the street outside the defensive line—a death zone currently completely occupied by monsters.
Bang!
As soon as it landed.
Those Crawler were originally crowding in front of the Variant Monster and had not yet fled immediately retreated like a tide the moment Lu Xiu landed!
They jostled and trampled each other.
Then, a large vacuum zone with a diameter of tens of meters was created around Lu Xiu!
The girl carried a long sword, her ponytail and blue ribbons fluttering in the wind.
It's like one person.
They forcefully suppressed an army of thousands.
Chu Huai stared at the graceful figure standing there, his eyes widening slowly. The lightning around him stopped, and he nearly dropped his battle sword.
"---- Lu Xiu?"
At the same time.
Suddenly, a series of chaotic footsteps echoed from the street behind the A18 Defense Zone.
"We're fucking here!!!"
"Charge, brothers!"
"Damn it, let these monsters see the power of my Longsword Swordsman!"
Support has arrived!
These were the High Sequence players who had just felt embarrassed by Lu Xiu's words in the square and then came to provide support in a large group.
They had just been urgently assigned to the A18 Defense Zone, where the fighting was most intense. They were all filled with murderous intent, and some had even prepared to unleash their ultimate moves, ready to charge out the corner and engage in a bloody head-on collision with the monsters.
However.
As this group of roaring players charged onto the battlefield with overwhelming momentum, brandishing a motley collection of weapons and preparing to wreak havoc—
Once everyone saw what was happening before them, they slammed on the brakes and were all stunned.
"Ah?"
The High Sequence players at the forefront remained frozen in place, weapons raised, staring blankly ahead.
There was no Monster Tide rushing towards us as I had imagined.
The defensive line, which is not on the verge of collapse and is currently engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat, is also not in imminent danger.
Outside the defensive line, there was only a girl with a high ponytail.
She stood alone at the front, carrying a knife.
She was surrounded by Crawler retreated in fear.
"Did I go to the wrong place?" A player rubbed his eyes and then swallowed.
"Didn't they say this place was about to be breached? This is what they call about to be breached? This is like one person surrounding monsters!!"
"That figure—is that Lu Xiu? She single-handedly drove back the Monster Tide in A18 Defense Zone?!"
"No way!!! Her name can scare away monsters in Monster Hunter, and it's one thing? Does it have a deterrent effect on monsters in real life too?"
??"
The newly arrived support players gaped, only one thought remaining: what exactly did Lu Xiu do to the monster???
On the other side...
Lu Xiu, who was being watched by countless people at this moment, paid no attention to the dumbfounded soldiers and players behind her.
Her gaze passed through the trembling, retreating Crawler and landed on two enormous, Variant Monster hidden behind the Monster Tide.
They arched their backs as if their feathers had been ruffled.
But they didn't run.
Upon seeing this, Lu Xiu's beautiful eyes lit up slightly.
Finally, we found some that weren't scared away!
We've been doing parkour all this way.
She didn't even have a chance to make a single move, and she was starting to get anxious.
It's a good thing that the monster was scared away.
But she also wanted to try and see if her Deconstruction skills could extract some material from real-world monsters.
Now we've finally found an opportunity.
"Come."
Lu Xiu slowly raised the Nameless Blade in her hand, its edge pointing directly at the two enormous creatures hidden in the shadows.
The Variant Monster's AI seemed quite advanced; upon seeing Lu Xiu's actions, it was immediately enraged.
Even if one senses that getting close to Lu Xiu will limit one's power.
The two Variant Monster couldn't hold back either.
With two deafening roars, two enormous monsters leaped out of the shadows of the ruins.
The surrounding soldiers and players gasped in shock when they saw the two Variant Monster clearly.
Because it's really not the same as a regular Crawler.
The one on the left resembles a rhinoceros in appearance, with its back covered in thick, tile-like scales resembling those of a pangolin. It is nearly six meters long, has a huge head, and a rough horn at the tip of its nose.
As soon as it landed, it lowered its body and its thick hind legs uneasily pawed at the asphalt, constantly kicking up black debris.
The one on the right resembles a leopard overall, but with a high back like a wolf, long limbs, a shoulder height of about 2.5 meters when standing, and a body length of nearly 6 meters including the tail.
What's most striking are its forelimbs, with extremely long claws that are curved like crescent moons and have a steely texture. They plow several deep grooves into the asphalt road as soon as they land.
Lu Xiu looked up at the two enormous creatures and was slightly taken aback.
"----Is it that big?"
She glanced at the Nameless Blade in her hand.
It seems that using the Nameless Blade wouldn't be suitable for fighting a monster of this size.
Since it's so big—
Lu Xiu thought for a moment and said, "Then let's use the Monster Hunter strategy."
Amidst everyone's puzzled gazes, Lu Xiu tossed the Nameless Blade back into her backpack, then slowly extended her right hand towards the empty space to the side.
Azure Blade Myriad Forms.
Open!
With the infusion of Lu Xiu's Mental Strength...
The air in the surrounding environment seemed to be drawn in, frantically converging towards her palm.
In less than half a second, a huge weapon with an exaggerated shape and an extremely long blade was outlined in the air.
Its appearance is simple and unadorned, without any fancy decorations, and it's even similar to a basic Iron Katana.
It's the famous Defender Long Sword from Monster Hunter: World!
Lu Xiu gently gripped the katana, and it fell into her hand.
rear.
Chu Huai, who was preparing to rescue the two Variant Monster as they attacked simultaneously, suddenly stopped in his tracks and froze in shock at the sight of this scene.
"Tachi?!"
He looked at the exaggerated katana in Lu Xiu's hand and realized something. "Wait, she wouldn't be thinking of—"
The players who had just arrived to provide support, already completely bewildered, nearly had their eyes pop out of their sockets when they saw the familiar weapon.
"Holy crap?! A real-life Longsword Swordsman?!"
At the same time.
Lu Xiu, wielding her katana, directly confronted the two Variant Monster.
The heavily armored beast resembling a rhinoceros could no longer contain itself.
Its powerful hind legs slammed into the ground, accompanied by a piercing crackling sound, and a layer of eerie blue lightning appeared on the rough ramrod at the tip of its nose.
Immediately afterwards.
Boom!
The ground cracked.
This enormous creature, crackling with electricity, charged at full speed toward Lu Xiu!
Lu Xiu also rushed over.
But just as the man and the beast were about to collide head-on, the monster's thunderous horns buckled forward.
Lu Xiu suddenly stopped.
The supple body suddenly stepped backward in a posture that defied inertia.
Cast!
The ramming horn, wrapped around Qi Ting, grazed Lu Xiu's nose and narrowly veered towards Midnight.
Having perfectly dodged the attack, without even a moment's hesitation, Lu Xiu immediately took a heavy step forward! The katana, accompanied by a piercing whistle that tore through the night air, unleashed a fierce upward slash!
The process was smooth and swift.
It arrived almost instantly.
Real-World Foresight Slash!
Swish!!!
The heavy blade of the katana struck the rhinoceros monster's lower jaw the instant it raised its head and lunged forward, piercing its scales.
With a soft thud.
Crimson blood, mixed with starlight, gushed out instantly!
The monster let out a painful howl.
But Lu Xiu's attacks were far from over.
Using the recoil from the upward slash, she twisted her waist violently, and the massive katana drew a perfect full moon arc in the middle of the night.
Real-World Spirit Blade Great Vertical Spin!
Brush!
Immediately afterwards.
Just as the monster realized what was happening and tried to retaliate...
To everyone's disbelief, Lu Xiu sidestepped, and in the instant the spin ended, with an incredibly smooth movement, she slid to the monster's side—as if she knew exactly how it would attack. Not only did she perfectly dodge the attack, but her katana continued to strike the monster throughout.
The Variant Monster hadn't fully turned around yet.
Lu Xiu slashed the monster more than ten times on one side.
"Roar!!"
On the other side.
Knowing that its companion was being suppressed, the monster on the right, which resembled a giant leopard, suddenly exerted force with its limbs, and its massive body transformed into a silver-gray Afterimage, pouncing cunningly towards Lu Xiu from the blind spot on its flank.
In mid-air, its giant claws, resembling steel crescent moons, suddenly opened, shrieking as they tore through the air, aiming straight for Lu Xiu's head!
"----careful!"
Chu Huai spoke up instinctively.
But he hadn't finished speaking.
At the critical moment.
As if she had eyes in the back of her head, Lu Xiu smoothly twisted her body.
He directly sheathed the katana into a non-existent scabbard at his waist, and then lowered his body slightly.
Iai Slash!
Chu Huai:
Is this a real Monster Hunter???
On the battlefield.
The giant leopard's massive claws ruffled a strand of hair at Lu Xiu's temples.
Then it swept right past Lu Xiu.
And in that very instant...
Clang!!!
Lu Xiu drew her sword.
Accompanied by a piercing shriek that tore through the night air.
The incredibly fast Giant Leopard Monster didn't even have time to react before it was struck by a vertical slash.
Next.
Using the immense momentum of her Iai Slash, Lu Xiu twisted her waist, her broad katana, Choji, tracing a full moon's path through the night.
Swish!
Having just been slashed vertically, the giant leopard was powerless to dodge. It was then struck hard on the side, spurting out a large cloud of foul-smelling black blood.
Its massive body was slashed and sent flying backward, rolling several times across the wrecked street before finally coming to a stop, whimpering in pain.
And just then...
The Rhino Behemoth, which had been slashed more than ten times by Lu Xiu, finally clumsily turned around.
It seemed to be completely enraged, raising its head and letting out a wild roar, its rough horn pointing at Lu Xiu, its light shining brightly in an instant!
Crack!
The raging, dark blue lightning, almost tangible, began to radiate outwards in a frenzied manner along its ramming angle.
Faced with this overwhelming challenge, Qi Ting erupted.
Lu Xiu lightly touched the ground with her toes, her whole body moving like a graceful swallow, taking a silky Dodge Step backward.
A difference of a hair's breadth!
The violent arc of energy exploded almost touching Lu Xiu's nose, scorching and shattering the ground where she was standing.
But he never encountered Lu Xiu.
Lu Xiu had already used Dodge Step to instantly create a safe distance.
Qi Ting unleashed an extremely powerful attack.
However, these kinds of powerful moves also have a long recovery time.
Just as Qi Ting paused and the Rhino Behemoth slowly lowered its head...
Lu Xiu turned sideways, gripped the hilt of the sword with both hands, held the katana horizontally in front of her, lowered her waist, and transformed into an arrow released from a bow, charging directly towards the giant beast's head!
Clang!!!
Click!!!
With unstoppable force, the katana pierced directly into the hardest part of the rhinoceros monster's nose!
With a slight cracking sound, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ramming horn that had been wrapped around Qi Ting!
The giant beast, in pain, began to shake its head violently.
The moment the dagger struck the corner of the car, Lu Xiu took a half step back, and then instantly leaped into the air!
In the middle of the night, the girl deftly turned her body to the side, raised both katanas high, and at the highest point, struck a graceful downward slashing pose!
At that moment, the dawn light shone down from behind her, making her figure, holding her katana high, appear incredibly long and slender.
Behind the position.
The players, their eyes glued to the battlefield, watched that figure rise into the night and linger in the darkness.
They all stared wide-eyed.
"Holy crap?!"
"A dashing thrust followed by a leap—that's—"
"Spirit Helm Breaker Ascension Slash?!"
"Where's the Longsword Swordsman?! Look! A live demonstration!!"
"No way!!! Can someone with such a spine be so handsome in real life???"
"----I'm ripping water! Someone's cheating in real life with the Spirit Helm Breaker Slash skill!!!!"
Meanwhile, at the highest point of the night, Lu Xiu began to control her descent. With the force of gravity, she cleaved down with the force of splitting a mountain, fiercely striking the already cracked horn of the Rhino Behemoth!
Brush!!!
Blue ribbons fluttered in the air.
The blade struck the rhinoceros-like monster's horn directly!
The terrifying power of the wife suddenly erupted.
It exploded with a blast of air.
The horn disintegrated instantly upon impact.
The heavily armored behemoth, under the blow, its head lurched forward, but the intense pain caused its forelegs to buckle, and it was forced to its knees by the force of the blow!
At the same time, the ground cracked open, revealing countless huge spiderweb-like patterns.
Chu Huai and the other players behind them stared blankly at this scene.
no.
What are the characteristics of this donburi (rice bowl)?
Is there still a real-life version of Spirit Helm Breaker that's so handsome?
However, Lu Xiu on the battlefield did not stop because of this attack.
"Roar!"
The leopard monster that had been Iai Slash away by the Iaijutsu slash finally caught its breath.
It crouched low, its limbs darting swiftly through the ruins, transforming into a streak of silver-gray lightning as it darted forward with a cunning attack.
Lu Xiu immediately took a smooth Dodge Step, her body floating to the side and back like a light feather.
Call!
The sharp, giant claws almost grazed her, the resulting airflow causing her ponytail to sway wildly.
Immediately afterwards.
Lu Xiu's wife kept moving and began to dart around the ruins at high speed.
Chopping, spinning, slicing, Iai Slash, Dodge Step, Spirit Helm Breaker ----
Every roar and charge of the behemoth, every pounce of the behemoth, was effortlessly Neutralize by her.
But almost every strike she made was perfectly timed.
The monsters didn't even touch her, yet she was already nearly killed.
That state of being completely at ease.
Everyone watching instantly understood—it was because Jingji Lu Xiu could create a dungeon like the Monster Man.
She is Title as the strongest player in offline dungeons because of her position.
This is absolutely fucking outrageous!!!
The giant leopard moved so fast it was invisible! Yet she wasn't touched even once!!!
They could even find opportunities to hack and slash their opponents until they were covered in wounds, almost whimpering like dogs.
Many people have even started recording videos.
But what's even more shocking is yet to come.
After smoothly and skillfully dodging the leopard monster's midnight strike, Lu Xiu used the momentum to leap backward more than ten meters.
She watched as the leopard monster, having become cautious after repeatedly missing its targets and being slashed several times, no longer attacked blindly but instead circled her at high speed, looking for an opportunity.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
He roughly knew that his swing speed was fast.
It began to become alert, and ordinary swings were no longer enough to accurately strike it while it was moving.
Wow, you have a really strong learning ability!
Lu Xiu sighed.
Since that's the case----
Big Van is good at attacking, right?
Lu Xiu took a deep breath.
He then released the bow, and the katana instantly fell from the bow, but before it could fully land, it turned into light and vanished.
Next.
Lu Xiu simultaneously extended both bows towards the empty night.
Azure Blade Myriad Forms.
open.
As the night air rotates and converges.
A Heavy Shield and a Single-Bow Longsword were suddenly drawn.
Lu Xiu raised her shield, held a single bow and sword, and looked at the two monsters.
Everyone:
No, really?
far away.
The leopard monster was stunned when it saw Lu Xiu change her weapon.
But he quickly realized what was happening, let out a piercing roar, and lunged straight at Lu Xiu with all four limbs pushing off the ground.
Finally, they made their second attack.
Lu Xiu stepped forward and, just as the opponent was about to strike, raised her Heavy Shield and held it upright in front of her!
Bang!!!
The leopard monster's massive claws gripped the thick, Heavy Shield, producing a piercing metallic scraping sound and sending sparks flying.
Lu Xiu suddenly pushed the shield forward with all her might!
This was a powerful push.
The mutant leopard monster, whose hand was already stiff, was sent flying and, by sheer coincidence, crashed into the Rhino Mutant that had just gotten up!
The two enormous creatures collided violently and rolled into a heap.
And at the very moment they collided with each other.
Now!
Lu Xiu suddenly sped forward, and when she was still some distance from the two giant beasts, she reversed her bow and plunged her sword into the Heavy Shield in her left hand.
Click click click!!
A metallic clanging sound rang out!
The shield and longsword instantly combined and unfolded, transforming into a Great Axe with an exaggerated design!
Lu Xiu slightly adjusted her position, stepped out with her right foot, first with a horizontal sweep, then her waist was like a bowstring stretched to its limit, squeezing out all the power in her body without reservation, and with that Great Axe, she raised it high behind her!
Then, with a devastating force, it slammed down!
Super Amped Element Discharge!!!
Cast!!!!!!!!!
The instant the Great Axe struck.
The pebbles on the ground suddenly jumped up.
The Rhino Behemoth covered in armor plates and the swift, wind-like leopard Variant Monster had just gotten up when they were struck head-on by this axe.
The impact erupted suddenly, spreading rapidly in a ring, stirring up a cloud of smoke.
The chilling sound of bones cracking could be clearly heard.
Click!
""
In the distance, the soldiers, Chu Huai, and the players who had just arrived and were ready to fight all stared in disbelief at this scene.
The katana was being used in the fighting.
Suddenly switched to Charge Blade!
He even used his Charge Blade to unleash a Super Amped Element Discharge, that's pretty good!
Architect can do this too???
----Is it a monster/human weapon that Lu Xiu knows all of?
And at the center of the battlefield.
As the residual power of the Super Amped Element Discharge dissipated, the scene inside reappeared.
The Heavy-Armored Rhino and the swift giant leopard were now piled together, indistinguishable from one another.
The two monsters' bodies closest to the center of the Super Amped Element Discharge were smashed into mincemeat by that axe!
Blood, broken bones, and entrails were mixed with charred marks, covering the craters left by the Great Axe axe.
Lu Xiu looked at the two monsters that had already breathed their last and let out a soft sigh of relief.
It has to be said.
It's quite interesting to fight real-world monsters using monster-human techniques.
But then something suddenly occurred to her, and her delicate body stiffened abruptly.
etc----
Just now, during the Super Amped Element Discharge...
In an effort to maximize power, numerous buffs were applied, but after being smashed like this, are the materials still useful? Can they still be extracted?
"Ah!"
Thinking of this...
Lu Xiu let out a short gasp, immediately dispelling the Charge Blade she had created with her skill, and ran to the monster's side. "Please, don't die yet—die after you've given me the materials."
As she spoke, she raised her bow, demonstrating her Deconstruction skills.
Everyone: "--------"
